Biography
Tseren-Ochiryn Dambadorj was born in Niislel Khuree, Mongolia in 1898, and he joined the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party in 1921. In 1922, he rose from the rank of Vice Chairman in the MPRP to General Secretary of the Central Committee of the MPRP. In 1924, he led the calls for the execution of Soliin Danzan for representing bourgeois interests and engaging in business with Chinese firs, and he emerged as a leader of the right wing of the MPRP. His efforts to acquire international recognition of Mongolian independence threatened Soviet influence in his country; he also argued that the elimination of capital and the confiscation of capital of the old feudal nobility were incompatible with the government's policies. The Soviets moved to purge Dambadorj and other right-wingers, and he was purged in 1928. He died in Moscow in 1934.
